About this deal

It only works with dual voltage devices or global devices with an input voltage range of 100 to 250V. Even when I'm not on holiday though, it tidies things up around the house and gives me more USB-C and normal USB charging ports, while making sure that I still have the socket available. Epicka claims it will work in 150 countries, but there are more than 200 countries (the exact number is harder to pin down than you might realize). The Ceptics Plug Adapter set combines everything we were looking for in plug adapters: small size, solid build quality, and—well, small size is really the thing here.

For the plug adapters, I tried plugging in several devices, as well as inserting them into outlets around my house. If you're visiting just one destination, a basic plug adapter that caters to one plug type is all you need. Last, these things being so small, you could easily lose them in your bag or leave them behind in an outlet somewhere, if you’re the type of person who loses things. If it only says "120V–60Hz," it will almost certainly not work—or not work correctly—with a travel adapter. The ones we considered have USB ports, so you don’t need to worry about bringing a separate charger for anything that charges via USB (think phones and noise-cancelling headphones).

Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). Note that it doesn't convert voltage, so verify your devices' compatibility within the 100V-250V range before use, particularly for appliances like hair dryers or irons. This arrangement feels more secure than the semi-locking or slide-locking system that some other universals use. Each adapter is no larger than it needs to be to fit over the American-style prongs of your charger. Travel Plug’s All-In-One adapter is an affordable and effective adapter solution for travelling abroad.

Sure, Canada, Mexico, Japan, and many other countries use the same small pair of prongs as the US, but places like continental Europe, the UK, Australia, India, Russia, and pretty much everywhere else do not. Some countries are not usually covered by universal adapters, such as India ( Type D), Israel ( Type H), and South Africa ( Type M or N). If the device charges via USB, just about any USB port will suffice, though different ports may provide different charging speeds.output ports pump out 22W to simultaneously charge up to 4 devices, one port could offer maximum current up to 4. Small, simple, and cheap, they’re perfect for someone who wants to carry only the adapter they’ll need and who already has a multiport USB wall charger they like. The main problem is the lack of any grounding, which is meant to reduce the risk of an electrical shock if there's a fault, such as a loose wire inside a device with a metal case. These attach to the prongs of your current USB charger (whether it’s a multiport one or the charger that came with your device) to allow them to fit into a foreign outlet. Simplicity, creativity and universality are the philosophy of Lencent design, while quality is the basic principle of the Lencent brand.

All universal travel adapters have four different sets of prongs, which cover most countries most Americans tend to travel to. Most travel adapters nowadays are made reasonably well and will be perfectly safe, but it’s important to check if the adapter has been tested and approved by a safety regulation. This travel adaptor is compact and lightweight, so it fits easily in your luggage and slots into most outlets without any problems.

Being small and inexpensive, plug adapters are not built for high-power, high-wattage items, though hopefully we’ve persuaded you to leave those at home. Adapters make great gifts for travelers, and be sure to check out our roundup of other travel essentials if you’re a frequent flier. It does not offer surge protection, and the Type G adapter maxes out at 3,250 watts (250 volts, 13 amps), while the EU versions top out at 2,500 watts. Anything with a motor (like hair dryers), anything with a heating element (like a clothing iron or a curling iron), or anything with a plug that goes directly to the device (as in no wall wart), probably won’t work in another country regardless of what kind of converter or adapter you bring. I’ve stayed in places where my Europlug didn’t work, yet it did in the hostel before and the hotel after—all within the same small region of a country.

Also, depending on what you’re connecting with these plug adapters, your charger or device could wobble and maybe fall out.
